We are already planning next months meeting. We have moved the Spring Skywarn Safety meeting up a month this year. If you know amateurs who are interested they are welcome to join us. Feb. 18th at 5pm!
Also, we are joining with members of the Nixa Amateur Radio Club this coming Saturday as we participate in the annual Winter Field Day. We are not contesting. Instead we are practicing preparedness in setting up the stations and will “play radio” for the afternoon. Bring your favorite snack dish to share and join us at the Red Cross Disaster Services building at Division and West Bypass. If you would like to learn how to set up the trailers be there at 1230, otherwise, we hope to see you at 1pm! (You do not have to be a General or Extra Class to participate. We will get you on the air on HF if you are a Tech or if you are just interested in seeing what Amateur Radio is all about. Please feel free to come join us.

No doubt some of you found the site unavailable within the last 24 hours. This was due to changes being made to the hosting arrangements for the site.
This was sparked in large part by the current SOPA & PIPA legislation being pushed RIGHT NOW! Which you may or may not have heard about.
If you haven’t heard about it the quick version is, it’s the latest in a series of attempts by those with deep pockets to control and extract money from those with less than deep pockets. (YOU!)
It just one of many attempt in recent history some of you may remember the DCMA which became law, the difference is this bill legalizes the ability of these “special interests” to tamper with the underpinnings of the Internet (DNS) and turn off YOUR websites, email, etc.
For a quick run down visit: http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa
SOPA has gained much attention in the last few weeks with major websites committing to “black out” in protest. The less know bill PIPA is very likely to slip through unnoticed and become law, you are encouraged to oppose it by signing here:
http://americancensorship.org/
and here:
SMARC.ORG is now on a new web-host which does NOT endorse SOPA. Our outage was SOPA related but was more preventative in nature. DNS took almost 26 hours to propagate. The longest of all the sites I’ve been moving. We are safer on the hosting end, but not immune to DNS tampering of SOPA.
The SMARC site had to be rebuilt from backups as moving it whole failed, thanks to the former hosting company corrupting our SQL database as a going away present. They are known for this behavior so it came as no surprise.
We only lost the navigation side panels which were all hand built for our site theme as widgets.. not a big deal. They will re-appearer over the next day or two as I re-add them.
The upshot of the move is the site has a much better storage structure and now Permalinks work.. since we no longer need URL masking (which always urked me). We will also now be able to better utilize the collaborative features of our content management system.
Or in other words more interactive parts of the site for club members!
Hope your all catching some good winter HF!
